ADM-201 Salesforce Certified Administrator (SP23) Question and Answers

The AppExchange is an online marketplace where customers can find apps, components, consultants, developers, and more to extend Salesforce functionality or solve specific business challenges. Some of the actions that can be accomplished via AppExchange are finding certified developers and consultants who can help with custom development or implementation projects; installing industry-specific solution templates that provide preconfigured apps, dashboards, reports etc., for various industries such as manufacturing or healthcare; downloading free tools or components that enhance productivity or user experience; browsing reviews or ratings from other customers who have used certain products or services; etc. References: https://appexchange.salesforce.com/

Report folders are used to organize and secure reports in Salesforce. You can set different levels of access for different users or groups on each report folder. To preserve the integrity of the source reports for dashboards, you can create a new report folder with viewer access only and move the dashboard reports to that folder. This way, users can view the reports but not edit them. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.reports_folders.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.reports_dashboard_folder_access.htm &type=5

To require users to choose a specific search engine from a picklist when lead source is “Search Engine”, and hide it otherwise, the administrator should create a picklist for specific search engine on the same screen as lead source, and set conditional visibility so that it is only shown when lead source is “Search Engine”. This will make sure that users see only relevant fields based on their input. A decision element will create an extra screen that may disrupt user experience. An assignment element will not affect field visibility. A validation rule will not hide fields but only show errors when values are invalid. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_ref_elements_screen_components_picklist.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_ref_elements_screen_components_conditional_visibility.htm &type=5

To access the account object in Salesforce, users need to have permission to the account object on their profile or permission set. Permission to an object determines what users can do with records of that object, such as create, read, edit, delete, view all, or modify all. If users do not have permission to an object, they will not be able to see or access that object in Salesforce. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.users_profiles_permissions.htm &type=5

Assignment rules are tools that allow administrators to automatically route records to users or queues based on certain criteria. For example, an assignment rule can assign cases to different queues based on case priority, origin, type, or other fields. Assignment rules can be triggered when records are created manually, via email, web, or API. Assignment rules consist of multiple rule entries that define the criteria and actions for each assignment scenario. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_leadrules.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_casesupport_assign.htm &type=5

To enable users to add repeating tasks in Salesforce, the administrator needs to do two things: first, enable the creation of recurring tasks in activity settings under setup; second, add the create recurring series of tasks field on the page layouts for tasks. This will allow users to create a series of tasks that repeat based on a specified frequency and end date. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.tasks_repeating.htm &type=5

When an administrator deletes a custom field, Salesforce moves it to the deleted fields list for 15 days, during which time it can be undeleted or erased permanently. If the administrator undeletes the field within 15 days, most of its properties and data are restored, except for its field history data, which remains deleted and cannot be recovered. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.custom_field_delete.htm &type=5

To use as an identifier when importing and updating records from a separate system, an administrator should use External ID field type on an object. External ID fields allow storing unique identifiers from external systems and using them for matching records during import or update operations. External ID fields can also be used for upsert operations that insert new records or update existing ones based on external ID values. For example, an administrator can create an External ID field on Account object that stores account numbers from an external ERP system and use it for importing or updating accounts from that system. Rich Text field, Record ID, and Auto-Number field are not suitable for using as identifiers when importing and updating records from a separate system. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fields_about_field_types.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.data_loader_upsert.htm &type=5

Lightning pages are custom layouts that let you design pages for your Salesforce org using Lightning App Builder. You can assign different Lightning pages for different apps, record types, and profiles using Lightning page assignments. To meet the requirement of displaying different Lightning pages for Accounts in Sales Console and Service Console, you need to assign Lightning pages as app default for each app. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.lightning_page_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.lightning_page_assignments.htm &type=5

To make sure that all of the Salesforce users log in using the branded login URL after deploying my domain, and give them a grace period for updating their bookmarks, the administrator should set the Redirect policy to Redirect with a warning to the same page within the domain. This will redirect users who try to log in from https://login.salesforce.com or another domain to https://nto.my.salesforce.com, and show them a warning message that they need to update their bookmarks. Setting the Login policy or preventing login from https://login.salesforce.com will not redirect users or give them a warning. Filtering with Form Factor will not affect login URL. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.domain_mgmt_redirect.htm &type=5

Knowledge is a feature that can be used to meet this requirement. Knowledge allows users to create, manage, and share articles that provide information and solutions for common issues or questions. Data categories can be used to organize articles into different topics and make them easier to find and access. Users can view related articles from the Case page layout based on the data category of the case. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.knowledge_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.knowledge_categories.htm &type=5

A roll-up summary field is a type of field that calculates values from related records, such as the count of child records or the sum of a field on child records. In this case, the administrator can add a roll-up summary field to the open house object to track the number of visitors by counting the child records on the visitors object. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fields_about_roll_up_summary_fields.htm &type=5

Dashboards show data from source reports as visual components that provide a snapshot of key metrics and performance indicators. Dashboards need to be refreshed manually or scheduled to run on a regular basis to reflect the most recent data from the reports. The running user of a dashboard determines whose security settings are applied when the dashboard is run. If the running user is different from the viewer of the dashboard, they may see different data based on their permissions and sharing settings. References: https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/lex_implementation_dashboards_and_reports/dashboards

Einstein Opportunity Scoring is a feature that helps sales reps prioritize and close more deals by assigning each opportunity a score from 1 to 99 based on how likely it is to be won. The score is calculated using artificial intelligence and machine learning based on historical data and patterns from similar opportunities. Sales reps can use the score to focus on high-value opportunities and take actions to improve low-scoring ones. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.einstein_sales_oppty_scoring.htm &type=5

Paths allow you to display key fields and guidance for each stage of an opportunity. Kanban list views allow you to update records by dragging them between columns.

References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.path_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.kanban_overview.htm &type=5

Field update and email alert are two types of automated actions that can be added as part of the approval process. Field update allows you to change the value of a field on a record when it is submitted, approved, rejected, or recalled. Email alert allows you to send an email to one or more recipients when a record is submitted, approved, rejected, or recalled.

References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.approvals_automated_actions.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.approvals_creating_approval_actions.htm &type=5

To re-assign cases that meet the 24 hour SLA to the next tier queue, the administrator should use a case escalation rule that defines the criteria for escalating cases, such as age or priority, and the actions to perform when those criteria are met, such as changing owner or sending email alerts. Case escalation rules can help ensure that cases are handled in a timely manner and escalated to appropriate users or queues. Einstein Case Routing, Auto-response rule, and Case assignment rule are not able to re-assign cases based on SLA or age. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.case_escalation.htm &type=5

A junction object is a type of custom object that allows administrators to create many-to-many relationships between two other objects. A many-to-many relationship means that each record of one object can be related to multiple records of another object, and vice versa. For example, a junction object can represent that a contact can be interested in multiple pieces of merchandise, and a piece of merchandise can be of interest to multiple contacts. A junction object has two master-detail relationships with the two objects it connects. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.relationships_manytomany.htm &type=5

Permissions and tab visibility are two options that administrators can adjust to fully restrict access to records for certain users or profiles. Permissions determine what users can do with records, such as create, read, edit, delete, view all, or modify all. Tab visibility determines whether users can see a specific object tab in their app launcher or navigation bar. By setting permissions and tab visibility to none or hidden for deal records for service users or profiles, administrators can prevent them from accessing deal records via search or other methods. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.users_profiles_permissions.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_tabs.htm &type=5

Log in as the user is a feature that can be used to validate the error the user is receiving. Log in as the user allows an administrator to access Salesforce as another user and perform actions on their behalf, such as editing an opportunity. This can help troubleshoot issues that are specific to a user’s profile, role, or permissions. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.admin_login.htm &type=5

My Domain is a feature that allows administrators to create a custom domain name for their Salesforce org that replaces their instance URL (such as na35.salesforce.com). My Domain provides benefits such as improved security; enhanced branding; faster navigation; access to Lightning components; etc. However, one of the considerations when enabling My Domain is that it changes how users log in to Salesforce - instead of using their instance URL login (such as login.salesforce.com), they have to use their My Domain login (such as mydomain.my.salesforce.com). This applies to all internal and external users who access Salesforce via web browser or mobile app. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.domain_name_overview.htm &type=5

When you mark a field as required in Object Manager, the field is universally required to save a record on that object in the user interface. However, the field is not required to save records via the API on that object, unless you also mark it as required on the page layout.

References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fields_about_required_fields.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.admin_profile_picklists.htm &type=5

A validation rule is a tool that allows administrators to enforce data quality and integrity by preventing users from saving records that do not meet certain criteria or conditions. For example, a validation rule can display an error message if a user enters an invalid value in a field. In this case, the administrator can create a validation rule on the account object that displays an error if the account annual revenue field is below 0 or greater than 100 billion. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.validation_rules.htm &type=5

To customize the campaign member status picklist values themselves, marketing users need two things: a marketing user feature license and edit permission for campaigns. A marketing user feature license enables users to create, edit, and delete campaigns; manage campaign members; and update campaign history via the import wizards or API. Edit permission for campaigns allows users to modify existing campaigns and their related records such as campaign members and campaign member statuses. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.campaigns_enable.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.campaigns_member_status.htm &type=5

A support process is a feature that allows administrators to define and enforce the stages that a case or work order must go through based on its record type. A support process determines which values are available for the status field for each record type. If a support process omits a certain value for the status field, such as Closed, then users will not be able to see or select that value when working with cases or work orders of that record type. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_supporthome.htm &type=5

Splits is a feature that should be used to meet this requirement. Splits allows users to assign credit to opportunity team members based on the level of effort contributed by each person toward each deal. Users can create different types of splits, such as revenue or overlay splits, and specify the percentage or amount of credit for each team member. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.forecasts3_splits_overview.htm &type=5

When you delete a custom field, the data in that field is stored for 20 days before it is permanently deleted. During this time, you can restore the field and its data from the Recycle Bin or use Data Loader to export the data. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_del_field.htm &type=5

Two data loss considerations when changing a custom field type from Text to Picklist are:

• Assignment and escalation rules may be affected, because the values in the picklist may not match the values that were previously entered in the text field, and the rules may not trigger as expected.
• Any list view based on the custom field is deleted, because the filter criteria for the list view may not be valid for the new field type, and the list view cannot be displayed. There will be no data loss with use of a global value set or auto updates to Visualforce references, because these are not related to changing a custom field type from Text to Picklist. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fields_changing_type_considerations.htm&type=5

A cross object formula field is a type of formula field that references fields from related objects using relationships such as lookup or master-detail. It can be used to display data from one object on another object without creating another relationship or copying data. A cross object formula field can be created on opportunity object to display data from industry field on account object using account ID lookup relationship. A custom account field, a standard account field, or a master-detail relationship field are not types of fields that can display data from industry field on account object on opportunity page layout; they either do not exist or do not reference related objects. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.cross_object_formulas.htm &type=5

One thing that an administrator should be aware of before changing an auto-number field to text field is that this change is prevented by Salesforce; it cannot be done because it would cause data loss and inconsistency. Auto-number fields are fields that automatically assign unique numeric values to each record; they cannot be changed to text fields because text fields do not have this functionality and may allow duplicate or invalid values. Existing field values remaining unchanged, being converted, or being deleted are not things that would happen before changing an auto-number field to text field because this change cannot happen at all. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fields_about_auto_number.htm &type=5

To surface important values based on stage of opportunity , an administrator should use Path Key fields feature on Opportunity object . This feature allows adding up to five fields that display key information about each stage along path . Users can edit these fields inline without leaving path . For example , an administrator can add Amount , Close Date , Next Step , Probability , and Stage fields as key fields for Opportunity path . Opportunity Processes , Dynamic Forms , and Workflow Rules are not tools for surfacing important values based on stage of opportunity .

Contract is a standard object that represents a contractual agreement between your company and a customer. Case is a standard object that represents a customer’s question or problem that needs to be resolved by your support team. Account is a standard object that represents an individual or an organization involved in your business, such as customers, competitors, partners, etc. These three objects are commonly used for service use cases in Salesforce. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.contract_fields.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.case_fields.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.account_fields.htm &type=5

Bucket column allows you to categorize report data into groups without creating a formula or custom field. You can create buckets for different ranges of values and assign labels to them.

References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.reports_bucketing_overview.htm &type=5

A Chatter private group is a type of Chatter group that allows members to share feedback and ideas with each other in a secure and exclusive space; only members can see and post in a private group. It can be used by Ursa Major Solar to create a space for product owners to collaborate with just the product team by creating a Chatter private group and adding product owners as members. Using quick actions to log communication, configuring a Chatter public group, or adding activity history to document tasks are not solutions for creating a space for product owners to collaborate with just the product team; they either do not provide privacy or do not support collaboration. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.collab_groups_overview.htm &type=5

To protect data with backups by using Data Export Service, two considerations that the administrator should remember when scheduling export are:

• Data Backups are limited to weekly or monthly intervals depending on edition and license type
• Metadata backups must be run via a separate process such as Metadata API or change sets because Data Export Service only exports data (records) Metadata backups are not limited by sandbox refresh intervals. Data Export Service should be run from production orgs unless testing purposes require otherwise. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.data_export.htm&type=5

Report type is a tool that can be used to pull contact fields into the custom report for Event. Report type defines the set of records and fields available to a report based on the relationships between a primary object and its related objects. To edit the custom Event report type and add fields related via lookup, go to Setup > Report Types and select the Event report type. Then click Edit Layout and drag the fields from the Contact object to the layout. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.reports_builder_create_report_type.htm &type=5

Record types allow you to update the options in a picklist based on the kind of opportunity.

References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_recordtype.htm &type=5

Probability is a standard percentage field on the Opportunity object that indicates how likely an opportunity will close successfully. It is automatically calculated based on the opportunity stage unless you make it editable on page layouts. To allow sales reps to change the probability field value of their opportunities, you need to make the field editable on page layouts. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.opportunity_fields.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_layoutedit.htm &type=5

The AppExchange is an online marketplace where you can find solutions to enhance your Salesforce organization. Some of the solutions you can find on the AppExchange are consultants and components. Consultants are certified professionals who can help you with your Salesforce projects, such as implementation, customization, integration, training, etc. Components are reusable building blocks that you can use to create apps or pages in Salesforce, such as charts, calendars, maps, buttons, etc. References: https://appexchange.salesforce.com/consultants https://appexchange.salesforce.com/components

Multi factor authentication (MFA) is a security feature that requires users to verify their identity using two or more factors when they log in to Salesforce. It can help prevent unauthorized access to Salesforce by adding an extra layer of protection beyond username and password. Enabling MFA can be done by administrators in the security settings or by users in their personal settings. Disabling TLS requirements for sessions, customizing organization wide defaults, or enabling caching and autocomplete on login page are not actions that would prevent unauthorized access to Salesforce; in fact, they may reduce security or have no effect on security at all. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.security_mfa.htm &type=5

A restricted picklist is a type of picklist that enforces the integrity of the picklist values by allowing only values defined in the picklist during data entry or import operations. If the restricted picklist checkbox is checked for a picklist field, then any records with values not defined in the picklist will cause errors during import operations. However, if the restricted picklist checkbox is unchecked for a picklist field, then any records with values not defined in the picklist will be imported without errors. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.picklist_limitations.htm &type=5

Validation rules allow you to enforce data quality by preventing users from saving records that do not meet certain criteria.

References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.validation_rules.htm &type=5

Two options that should be added to Lightning record pages to make sales reps aware when they are speaking with high-profile customers are:

• Custom Component, which can display a custom message or icon on the record page based on certain criteria such as account rating or industry. For example, an administrator can create a custom Lightning Web Component that shows a star icon on account record pages if account rating is Hot or Warm.
• Component Visibility Filter, which can control when a component is visible on a record page based on field values of that record. For example, an administrator can add a component visibility filter to an existing component such as Path or Highlights Panel that makes it visible only if account rating is Hot or Warm. Highlight Panel, Action and Recommendations, and Rich Text Area are not options that can be used to make sales reps aware when they are speaking with high-profile customers. References: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/component-library/documentation/en/lwc/lwc.create_components https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.dynamic_forms_component_visibility.htm&type=5

Page layout and field level security are two factors that determine whether a user can see a new field on a record. To troubleshoot this issue, the administrator should ensure that the page layout for the user’s profile has been updated to include the new field and that the field level security of the field for the user profile allows read or edit access. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_layoutoverview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.admin_fls.htm &type=5

To automate an outbound message, the administrator should use a workflow rule that defines the criteria for sending the message and the actions to perform when those criteria are met. One of the actions available for workflow rules is sending an outbound message to a designated endpoint URL with specified fields as parameters. Process builder, task assignment, and flow builder are not able to send outbound messages directly. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.workflow_define.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.workflow_action_outboundmessaging.htm &type=5

Campaign hierarchy is a feature that allows administrators to organize campaigns into a parent-child relationship, where the parent campaign represents a larger initiative and the child campaigns represent smaller or more specific activities within that initiative. Using campaign hierarchy can help Ursa Major Solar report on campaign ROI by month and series by creating a parent campaign for the series of networking events and creating individual child campaigns for each monthly event. The parent campaign can show the aggregated metrics and ROI for the entire series, while the child campaigns can show the metrics and ROI for each month. Adding different record types for the monthly event types, creating individual campaigns that all have the same name, or configuring campaign member statuses to record which event members attended are not solutions for reporting on campaign ROI by month and series; they either do not group campaigns into a hierarchy or do not track campaign metrics or ROI. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.campaigns_hierarchy.htm &type=5

A formula field is a type of field that calculates a value based on an expression or formula that references other fields or constants. For example, a formula field can display today’s date by using the TODAY() function. In this case, the administrator can create a formula field on the account object that updates the audited date field with today’s date when the status of the account is changed to ‘Audited’. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fields_about_formulas.htm &type=5

Opportunity contact roles allow you to track ROI for contacts that are key stakeholders for opportunities. You need to customize the contact role field and add the related list to the opportunity page layout.

References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.opportunity_contact_roles.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_opportunity_contact_role.htm &type=5

IP address restrictions allow you to prevent users from accessing Salesforce from outside of their network. You can set IP address restrictions on the profile level or globally for the org. To enforce IP restrictions for API logins, you must select Enforce Login IP Ranges on Every Request in Session Settings.

References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.security_networkaccess.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.security_enforce_ip_ranges.htm &type=5

Flow Builder is a tool that can be used to create an automated way to delete records based on field values. Flow Builder can create flows that define the logic and actions for deleting records, such as finding records that match certain criteria and deleting them in bulk. Flows can be scheduled to run at regular intervals or triggered by other events or processes. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_builder.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_concepts_delete.htm &type=5

Formula fields are types of fields that calculate a value based on an expression or formula that references other fields or constants. Formula fields prevent administrators from changing their field type once they are created because they may be referenced by other functionalities such as reports, validation rules, workflow rules, etc., that depend on their data type and value. If a formula field is referenced by other functionalities, then changing its field type may cause errors or unexpected results. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fields_about_formulas.htm &type=5

Flow Builder supports creating a scheduled flow that can run at specified intervals and perform actions on a set of records that meet certain criteria.

References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_builder_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_concepts_scheduled_start.htm &type=5

To help sales reps prioritize and close more deals, the administrator should use Einstein Opportunity Scoring, which is a feature that assigns each opportunity a score from 1 to 99 based on how likely it is to be won. The score is calculated using historical data and machine learning models, and can help reps focus on the most promising opportunities and take actions to improve their chances of winning. Einstein Activity Capture, Einstein Search Personalization, and Einstein Lead Scoring are not related to opportunity management.

To test the impact of a critical update before it is auto-activated, you should activate it in a sandbox first. This way, you can verify that your customizations and integrations work as expected without affecting your production org.

References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.admin_critical_updates.htm &type=5

Knowledge articles are documents that provide information or solutions about products, services, or processes in Salesforce. You can use knowledge articles to respond to customers quickly and consistently with accurate information. You can create different types of articles with different templates and fields, such as FAQ articles, troubleshooting articles, how-to articles, etc. To meet the requirement of responding to customers with the top five troubleshooting tips that could help solve their issue, you need to create knowledge articles with those tips and attach them to your email responses or case comments. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.knowledge_article_types.htm &type=5

A user with manager role above the agent can change ownership on multiple cases that are owned by the agent or by users below the agent in the role hierarchy. A user with the System Administrator profile can change ownership on any case, regardless of the owner or role hierarchy. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.case_change_owner.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.admin_userperms.htm &type=5

An escalation rule is a tool that allows administrators to automatically escalate cases based on certain criteria and time triggers. For example, an escalation rule can change the owner of a case, send an email notification, or update a field value when a case has been open for more than 7 days. An escalation rule consists of multiple rule entries that define the criteria and actions for each escalation scenario. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.case_escalation.htm &type=5

Dependent picklist and global picklist are two options that can be used to meet this requirement. Dependent picklist allows users to create a conditional relationship between two picklist fields, where the available values in one field depend on the value selected in another field. Global picklist allows users to create a set of picklist values that can be shared across multiple fields and objects, ensuring consistent values and reducing maintenance. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fields_about_dependent_picklists.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.picklist_global_picklists.htm &type=5

A list view is a feature that allows users to filter and display records based on certain criteria and fields. A Kanban view is a feature that allows users to view records as cards organized by columns that represent stages in a process such as opportunity stages or case statuses. Users can switch between list view and Kanban view by clicking on a toggle button on any object tab that supports Kanban view such as opportunities or cases. Users can also edit records by dragging and dropping cards from one column to another or by clicking on an inline edit icon on each card. In this case, the administrator can create a list view on the opportunity object that filters opportunities by expected close date in the next 90 days; and recommend users switch the view to Kanban to edit opportunities by drag and drop.

A Trailhead Playground is a free, online learning environment that allows you to try out Salesforce features and apps. You can use a Trailhead Playground to test out an app from the AppExchange before you install it in your production org.

A sandbox is a copy of your production org that you can use to test changes and new features. You can install an app from the AppExchange in a sandbox to see how it works in your environment.

Testing an app in a production org is not recommended, as it could affect your live data. Checking edition compatibility is important, but it is not a way to try out an app.

Page layout editor is a tool that allows you to customize the layout and organization of detail and edit pages for a specific object and record type combination. You can also use page layout editor to customize related lists on detail pages by adding or removing fields, changing column order, sorting records, etc. To meet the requirement of showing different fields on the Case related list from the Account record for Sales and Customer Care users, you need to use page layout editor to modify the related list properties for each page layout assigned to those users.

Auto response rules are a way to automatically send email responses to leads or cases based on certain criteria such as lead source, industry, etc. They can be used to send personalized emails whenever a lead fills out a web-to-lead form on a website and send different messages based on the lead industry field value. Using validation rule to trigger workflow to email the lead is not possible because validation rules cannot trigger workflows or send emails; they only prevent records from being saved if they do not meet certain criteria. Adding a public group and process builder to email the lead is unnecessary because auto response rules can handle this requirement without additional configuration or customization. Creating an assignment rule to email the lead is also unnecessary because assignment rules are used to assign leads or cases to users or queues based on certain criteria, not send emails; although they can have email alerts as part of their actions, they are not as flexible as auto response rules for personalizing email messages.

To ensure Market Segment field from Lead is copied to converted Account record in routine manner without manual intervention , an administrator should ensure Market Segment field on Lead is mapped to right field on Account using Lead Field Mapping tool under Lead Settings. This tool allows mapping custom fields from Lead object to custom fields on Account , Contact , or Opportunity objects so that data is transferred when leads are converted . For example , an administrator can map Market Segment field on Lead to Market Segment field on Account using this tool . Ensuring Account has a field that has same name as new Lead field , writing validation rule , or writing record-triggered flow are not necessary for copying custom fields from Lead to Account .

To provide appropriate access to a report that contains shoe records for all of the sales reps on their team, the administrator should configure three items:

• A custom report type that includes the shoe object and its fields
• A folder access that grants access to the sales manager and their team members to view and run reports in that folder
• A field level security that allows the sales manager and their team members to see all the fields on the shoe object Report subscription, while useful for scheduling and delivering reports, does not affect access to the report itself.

To create a contact and an opportunity from a lead that is associated with a campaign, and keep the campaign member history, the administrator should convert the lead from the campaign member detail page. This will automatically create a contact, an account, and an opportunity that are linked to the campaign. Deleting, cloning, or adding a contact will not preserve the campaign member history.

Contacts to multiple accounts is a feature that allows you to associate a single contact with multiple accounts, both business and person accounts. This way, you can maintain the historical accuracy of the contact record without creating duplicate records for each account.

A validation rule is a feature that allows administrators to define criteria for data entry or import operations and display an error message when those criteria are not met. For example, a validation rule can require users to select a product type or check a needs review box when saving an opportunity by using an OR function that evaluates both fields. If neither field is populated, then the validation rule will prevent users from saving records with an error message.

Role hierarchy and sharing rules are two features that should be used to open up access to Opportunity records for sales users working on collaborative deals. Role hierarchy can be used to grant access to records owned by or shared with users who are below them in the hierarchy. Sharing rules can be used to extend sharing access to users in public groups, roles, or territories based on certain criteria, such as record owner or field value.

To show a component that shows LinkedIn data only to sales users when they are on their mobile phones, the administrator should filter the component visibility with two conditions:

• User > Profile > name = sales User, which checks if the user’s profile name is “sales User”
• Form Factor = phone, which checks if the user’s device is a phone Filtering with view or role will not achieve the desired result. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.app_builder_page_visibility_rules.htm&type=5
